Unique House in Best Family Neighborhood in Newland

I bought this house to live in myself as a newly minted batchelor. At that time (2006) this house was a duplex rental property. Between April 2006 and July 2007 I completely renovated the property (I have approximately $100,000 in receipts!) and converted it into a specious single family home. Specific renovations included the following:

-Revised Floor Plan

-New Roof

-New Plumbing

-New Wiring (including electric service box and generator feed)

-New HVAC including forced air furnace and whole-house A/C)

-New Exterior Paint, Gutters, Downspouts and Vinyl Siding

-Newly Paved Driveway

-New Kitchen Appliances, Cabinets and Counter-tops

-New Bath Fixtures, Cabinets and Counter-tops

-New Mantle and Gas Burning Fireplace with Remote Control

-High End Ceiling Fans in All Rooms

-New Large Walk-in Pantry

-New Workbench and Shelving in Garage and Storage Area

-High End Audio/Video Wiring System for LR and BRs

-New Inside Staircase to Provide Access to Garage

Nestled on a beautiful corner lot with mature trees and landscaping this home offers the best of outside living in an in-town property. Wiring installed for outside speakers and lighting.

The modern kitchen is spacious and great for food preparation and hanging out. The kitchen features a large pass-through over the sink/bar into the living room / entertainment area.The living room is specious and comfortable and dining area is adjacent to living room. The very large master bedroom has walk-in closet and features French doors onto the front deck - great for sitting out on cool evenings. Two car garage has nice workshop and lots of shelving. There is a huge shelved storage under the house that is bone-dry.

This property also features a large paved parking area for guests or family. Also features a basketball hoop in this nice flat area for you, your, kids or grand-kids to have at it..

Fabulous neighbors with great kids. Wonderful neighborhood for raising children or for grand-kids to visit. 20 mile per hour speed limit keeps what few vehicles travel the adjacent roads nice and slow. This subdivision has maybe 25 residences total and is only accessable from one location. So, there is no through traffic and the only people on the residential streets are people who live in the subdivision or their guests. Incredibly quiet even on Saturday nights!!

This house is located in the premier sub-division in the Town of Newland and 1 of the 2 or 3 nicest residences in the development.. Because Newland is a small town (population approximately 1000 souls) in-town homes of this quality and location to not come on the market very often. Newland is the county seat of Avery County and is the quintessential mountain town complete with church socials, 4th of July celebrations and typical small town events. Great walking routes right from the house onto Newland's award winning Riverwalk. Single story floor plan makes this a great house for folks tired of steps and who want some place the kids and grand-kids will want to visit.
